I know what you mean Will. I didn't intend this to be a moan thread but an exploration of how the bicycle is construed by different people. It is often understood to be a toy, a vehicle, a mobility aid etc. All of which affects peoples attitude to a bike.
I am writing a paper about how cycling is construed in our society (and driving) so these jobsworth stories are interesting (not negative as you see this)
What I find interesting about this thread is the idea that if you replaced the words "jobsworth" & "cyclist" with "person doing job" and "person riding bike" you might perceive the situation differently. I am not advocating any particular view(except perhaps an existentialist one).
